Yvens Luclaise, 25, was convicted by a jury in Hillsborough County Superior Court of kidnapping, witness tampering, first-degree assault, three counts of criminal threatening and six counts of second-degree assault.

In July 2010, Manchester police said Luclaise and an accomplice invited the teen into an apartment, then forced him to take off all his clothes and abused him. The torture included dripping hot plastic from a burning glove onto the victims skin, burning him with a hot knife and gluing his lips closed.

Authorities said Luclaise captured the abuse on an iPod and could be heard telling the victim, We dont like snitches. Officials said the teen had previously provided information to security at a local store, which was used to solve a shoplifting case.

A judge has revoked Luclaises bail and he is expected to be sentenced within the next month. He faces 7 ½ - 15 years for the first-degree assault conviction and 3 ½ - 7 years on each of other counts.
